a traveling library of zines and other self-published DIY materials

musical zine mobile!

Friends of the zine mobile! I’ve been rambling all about this in the zine mobile’s real life, but realize I’ve neglected to mention it in its online life: Along with nearly 1,000 zines that can be checked out (and/or taken for keeps from the free box!), the zine mobile also has a collection of small musical instruments for gentle use and borrowing! We had our first instrument check out and first donation in the same day (it happened to be the same person, but you don’t have to donate something to borrow something)!

The current collection includes:

Ukulele

Glockenspiel

Melodica

Flute

Tambourine

Egg shakers (our first donated instrument!)

Kazoos ;)

Pom poms and other hand percussion

We’d love more instruments donated to the collection — we just ask that they be in good condition, and — at this point because of space constraints — that they be SMALL!! We’d also love more how-to/resource music zines!!
